Pre-thread Cliffs: This is a thread for recommending and asking for help with addons in general for the World of Warcraft.
There are always a lot of threads or posts in random threads about "what addon is that" or "is there an addon that does this." I figured one consolidated thread would be a good idea. I woke up way too early this morning and I hope this kills enough time.
I use a lot of addons that might not be familiar for everyone, and I would imagine a lot of you do the same. Please help each other out and recommend good addons for each other, as well as help identify unnamed ones.
I'll start things off. Here are few of the addons I enjoy, and might not be one of the mainstream addons.

Hopefully this post and thread is helpful. Happy hunting.

- Addon: Talented
Links: Curse | WoWInterface | WoWAce
Description:
This addon replaces your default talents window. It makes three wide and complete window of all your trees and best of all, you can save all your templates. Supports Dual-Spec. For example: If I was a Blood PvE spec and wanted to change to a Unholy PvP spec, I would unspec at a trainer, then go to Templates > Death Knight > select previously made 'Unholy PvP' spec and then select 'Apply Template' to instantly change spec. Only downside is that the glyph window is a secret window but its a minor inconvenience, considering how annoying the default window is.

- Addon: Overachiever
Links: Curse | WoWInterface
Description:
This overrides your default achievement window, but the appearance is almost identical (my ss is different because I use skinner). The bread and butter of this addon is the fact that you can search your achievements. It also allows you to move your achievement window, shows you what follow-up achievements there are (i.e. 10 tabards then 25 tabards), and even adds icons/tooltips to your professions and critters. For the critters you need to /love, /kiss or kill, it'll add it to the tooltip when you hover over those. For the Northrend Gourmet achievement, it'll have an icon next to the recipes you haven't cooked yet for that specific achievement.

- MBB (MiniMap Button Bag)
Links: Curse | WoWInterface | WoWAce
Description:
Tired of cluttered buttons around your minimap? Too lazy to get a databroker addon (fubar, titanpanel) and set it up to clean your minimap up? Have no fear MBB is here. MBB consolidates all your buttons on your minimap and adds it to a single small button. You then click or hover over it and it makes a pull out menu. Nothing complex, but wildly convenient for cosmetic purposes.
